Last days

         I am starting to get used to the weather now, the humidity doesn’t affect me that much anymore. Around noon the sun really starts to get hot. Roaming around on the bike has worked out well for me because that is how I got my sun tan. Also for all the girls who read this; please leave you foundation at home! When I wash my face before going to bed this is what I remove. Shockingly dirrrrty…. I have whole India on my face. Now in the evenings I am feeling more chilly so I grabbed a jeans from my suitcase and I noticed that the food has done me well too, the jeans was definitely more tight fitting than the last time I wore it.

 

         I have managed to make good contacts regarding the bus and I am satisfied with the result of this recce. Tomorrow is my last full day and I am hoping to finish of some loose ends. I have decided not to end “Ride to the Sunny South” in Cochin but to fly out from Calicut as we can save some time by not driving another 300km. I have got some ideas to fill in the days that I am extending along the Konkan coast. When I explored the route to Cochin I noticed the distance between the cities where too long and driving for about 4 hours should be long enough for people to enjoy. Now the task is to find interesting hotels to stay and an activity to do. Currently.
        I have located my office at a restaurant in south Anjuna called “La Franza”. They are ok for me to make calls and use their internet from my table (while I munch away a banana fritter with nutella or as today Calamaris in butter garlic sauce). Even when they close between 2 and 4 PM they let me stay and continue my work. Much appreciated!
